The following statements would result in the application of the Espionage and Sedition Acts:
1) A person says that the government made a mistake by getting involved in the war.
2) A speaker suggests that people should stop work to protest the war.
3) A labor union holds a strike at a munitions factory.
Both of these statements would result in punishments according to the Espionage and Sedition Acts (passed in 1918, during World War I). These acts made any speech that was considered critical of the government or disloyal to the US illegal. Along with this, anyone who interfered with the war effort could be punished. This is why the statements above would be real world situations of the Espionage and Sedition Acts.
